The Funds

The Washington correspondent of
the Alexandria Gazette says that ex-
Postmaster WINDSOR, of Alexandria,
and General MALONE last year bought
a square of ground in Washington city
for which they have been offered an
advance OF $4,000. MALONE is in
luck. He can if he chooses pocket
SS5, goo just at time when he needs
money to carry on his contest against
the Democrats and in favor Of his own
return TO the United States Senate. He
can. out OF this sum just made, or about
TO be made, by successful specula-
ton. expend $3.50 in each city and
comfy Of the State. Such an outlay
will not make it necessary for him to
touch dollar OF his immense private
fortune. Think Of it : Eight hundred
and fifty dollars for each city and
county, or nearly double that sum for
each large county. And in large city
such as Richmond is, containing one
twentieth of the population of the
State, he will spend, of course, one
tweutjeth OF the total sum-say four
thousand dollars.
But we are too fast. Perhaps the
General will prefer to keep his money
ard let the Republican candidates ioi
the Legislature expend their OWE
money in the canvass. We are conf
dent, however, that if his followers
shall not participate in his good luck
some of them viii be wofully disap
pointed.
General MALONE will hardly trouble
himself to go North this season to col
iect campaign money. Having as mucs
of his own as he needs, he is indie
pendent He can console himself, too
with the reflection that although hi
followers, or good many OF them
may be in financial straits, the leader
has pletboric pocket-book.

Not q Dollar for Lee.

What will the world say when it is
bruited far and wide that the city of
Richmond has refused to appropriate
the small sum of fifteen thousand dol
lars to the laying of the cornerstone
of the proposed monument to ROBERT
E. LEE? What will fnanciers say
when they hear that some persons here
think that Richmond was not able to
devote fifteen thousand dollars to that
object?
Surely the members of our City
Council who oppose this appropriation
have not reflected duly upon the sub
ject. The city of Petersburg, or the
city of Lynchburg, or the city of Dan
vile, with not one fifth of the wealth
of Richmond, would tomorrow will
ingly vote fifteen thousand dollars to
the Lee Monument Association, if
thereby they could get that association
to locate the monument in Petersburg,
or Lynchburg, or Danville, as the case
might be.
Richmond will lose her good name
amongst her southern sisters, and her
high credit in the financial world.
What, everybody will ask, a city of
$4,000 inhabitants unable to give
s15, GOO to such an object? To be I'M
willing TO give it would be still
worse. The refusal would hang
over this city, like a portentous
cloud, now and forever. Richmond
cannot afford not to give it. 1t would
be bad enough for our Council to cause
our people to lose the two or three hun
bred thousand dollars which the laying
of the cornerstone would surely at
tract to this city and cause to be spent
here. But that would be a small wrong
compared with the wrong of calling
down bad luck and i'll wishes upon this
devoted city for years. If, struck by
judicial blindness, orr city fathers
should be guilty of one of those
mistakes which are worse than a crime,
the people of the whole State of Vir-
GINA would ever afterwards be ashamed
torepister themselves as from this State
at any hotel in the wide, wide world.
We carnot contemplate the possibility
Of such crime, or such blunder,
without shuddering, We shall refuse
TO believe until it is committed that
that crime is possible, just as the Ro-
mans refused to prov de by law a pun
ishment for parricide because they
were not willing to assume that any
man could murder his father.

was strong and answering until his
dying day. And yet there arc Repub-
hcans who call the vigorous expression
OF union sentiments an unnecessary re-
yiyal of the war spirit, asd whimper
about waving the bloody shirt"
No one could charge General GRANT
with any of the foolish and narrow
minded simulated preiudices which
disgrace FORAKER, SHERMAN, and other
Republicans. General GRANT protected
General LEE from arrest as soon as the
war was over. He not only protected
General MosBY but gave him Federal
Office. He promoted LoNasrREEr and
other southern men TO high positions.
Hc had q strong conviction that the
Union side was the right side OF the
contest, and he had few or no scruples
as to his constitutional power as Presi-
dent of the United States to do what
ever was necessary to restore the
Union; but he never manifested
any feeling of resentment towards any
Confederate ofiicer-not even those Of
fcers who had been educated at Wes
Point and went out of the United
States army into the Confederate army
General JOE JOHNSTON was one of hi
pail bearers, as indeed he might wei
consent to be considering the patriotic
utterances made by General GRANT OF
his deathbed and the heartfelt expires
sion Of his sincere desire that thu
waving of the bloody shirt should ceas
forever.
No, no. The HALsTEADs, the Fora
RERs, the SHERMANs, the HoARs, tn,
EDMUNDsEs, and the rest of the ma
lignants must make out their case with
out the aid of General GRANT. Hi
name, fame, and reputation are counted
on the side of those who seek the thing
which make for peace. The hero o
the war recognized the fact that tn
war was over.

pastor Of the Second Baptist church

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1887


We have recently printed several
articles intended TO convince the ne
groes of the South that the whites of
the NORTH do not at all differ from the
whites Of the South in Che matter of
race prejudices. The negroes in this
section foolishly fatter their pride
with the uDfOunded belief that the
northern whites associate on terms
of equality with the negroes, and
make no objection to sending their
children to school with negro
children, or seeing a crowd OF
negroes in their churches, or taking a
box at the theatre and dividing the
seats with them. The fact is just the
other way. AS the Chicago Times re-
marks, such n feeling among the whites
is "not to be found to any great extent
outside of institutions for lunatics and
the feeble-minded." We quote a short
article from that paper, AS follows:
"1he northern papers which are
bowling about the new Georgia law pro-
hibiting the pepper-andsalt mixture of
whites and blacks in the public schools
of that State are making themselves
ridiculous. 1t will be time enough for
an appeal to fanatical partyism on that
issue when hostility to and prejudice
against the social mixture of the races
has been obiterated from the northern
mind The truth is that there is
hardly a public school in the cOun-
try, from the Government Academy
at West Point to the remOtest dis
trict in the wilds of the Northwest. in
which negro pupils are welcomed.
Statutory requirements and penalties
may enforce the mixture in places, but
evidence that the result is beneficial TO
either race has not been produced
The more thoughtful and intelligent
colored men are entirely conscious that
their people have nothing to gain from
an enforced mixture with the whites,
and that the best results of education
can only be hoped for in separate
schools. The determined sentiment
which the organs are attempting to
arouse in the North on this subject for
electioneeIing purposes will not be
found to any great extent outside of
institutions for lunatics and the feeble
minded.
For reproducing the above truthful
paragraph, the Dispatch will be set
down by the negroes as governed 10y
inveterate race prejudice. But We do
not despair of convincing them thatw
are right Soon after the war bet reen
the States ended We insisted upon it
that the negroes were properly spoken
of as negroes. Then the negroes here
coull not hear the word without being
voxed. Now the intelligent negroes
speak of themselves as negroes. SO
that we have some reason TO hope that
eventually the negro will learn that
white men are white men TIE
world over, and that it is the absence
Of the negroes themselves and not the
absence of race prejudices which causes
the whites in some localities to pro-
fess and even to appear to regard the
negro as being as good as the white
man.
Nothing would please the whites OF
the South better than resolve upon
the part of the negroes, to be acted out
in good faith, that the negroes were the
superior race.
